Briareum stechei Kükenthal, 1908
The Pacific Gorgonian Briareum stechei is a very hardy and durable gorgonian. The Briareum species are found in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. They are very common in nature, found in waters that are just a few inches deep to depths of 100 feet (30 m). The Briareum corals primarily form an unbranched, encrusting coral with a low profile stolon, or mat. Some species also have an erect growth and will sparsely form thick, short upright stalks or lobes from the mat.
